I don’t do push ups that way. We were taught to look straight forward in the military. I mean we had inspectors during physical fitness tests failing or passing us. I guess at the end of the day as long as you go all the way down 😂

[@juliataylor4385]

I use handles as it hurts my wrists when i do them with my hands flat on the floor. I have the back of my hands facing outwards and keep my elbows in as my shoulders are bad.

Im pretty big and have been for most of my life. Making a change in my habits has been hard, but the gradual process has started to take root in my mind for making better decisions when it comes to food choice and activity levels. Im here to impress myself. I want to make myself look like the person I feel like on the inside and doing a proper push-up is just another step on the long road to being a healthier person. Thank you for sharing your technique.

I'm still pretty young, trying to impress myself and I kinda hate the thought of getting too overweight in the future. I'm currently on school break so I'm trying to improve myself as much as possible. Thanks, Mr. Upright!

[@Sam.38]

I never ever did a push-up let me say , even though I’m a weight lifter ( started 1 year ago ). It felt agonizing that I couldn’t do even one push up , but now I get what the problem was 😭. I always thought I needed to push my body and my head down along with my arms. After seeing this video thoroughly I realized , oh he wasn’t pushing his body down, he was pushing forward!! That’s why his arms went like this , bro I almost lost hope and thought I’m just a loser who couldn’t even do 1 push-up after a year in the weight lifting major ( I know it’s weight focused but like cmon one push-up?!) now I feel relieved even though my form is still a bit off but like this is a start!! At least it could be called an almost push-up. Bless you and striving for the better!❤

[@DSPNWtoCali]

Hello for anyone that want to get a bigger chest, I mean men chest mainly, don't lock out at the top of the pushups. Unless you prefer to target the triceps, those muscle you hold to stabilize at the top, lockout, you build triceps. So before you lockout at the top, slightly bend at elbow and back down you go, back up and slight bend at the elbow at the top, continue for how many reps. This will build that chest. There other method but we are talking about bodyweight, this is it. Can use gymnastics rings as well, but that is another topic.

Pull-ups hit most of what push-ups didn't. Whatever muscles need to relax and expand in one are mostly contracting and doing the work in the other.

[@Paul-Meister-999]

@@7kidvid I'd add farmer's walks, for me the best exercise for functional strength for the whole body- just walking around carrying heavy dumbbells, I go from 30 seconds to 2 minutes, most trainers on youtube recommend about a minute.

Always nice to watch a refresher for proper form in order to reduce any risk of injuries. Haven't done pushup in years and once I got back into it, it's like the muscle memory kicks in without even thinking about it too hard.

Push ups are such a great repatterning exercise! I really want to synchronize the movement of the chest and back when doing this exercise to create a better balance with any exercise I do. You give such a great description of everything involved in performing the perfect pushup! I'm now feeling much more stable when doing pushups.

[@shabibbhuiyan2908]

To be in good shape is the reason. And strengthening thyself also increases self confidence.

[@lazycorvid7826]

Thanks for the break down! As for me I wanted to know as I'm trying to mix some exercise into my gaming sessions for my health as I really don't get enough activity in a day and hope that I'll also start feeling more energetic overall. Right now my goal is just to do 5-10 every 30 minutes of gaming or after 2 losses in a row and will start doing more at a time as my out of shape butt gets use to them. Also plan to work in some other exercises too as time goes on.

He asked for the reason why I wanna learn proper push ups. My cousin, he has some serious passion to have six packs and I never really cared about getting six packs or anything(I am not fat or too skinny, just in case you think I am). But now my cousin is forcing me as well to start doing push ups so I promised him that I will learn the 'proper' push ups today and will start doing them. So that's why I am here.

No more bendy forearms and looking ahead for me.

I'm here out of curiosity and to learn something but I'm pretty happy with my current weight and fit. It was my original natural growing up weight, I was filled out and curvy. I lost it through a bad spot in life not eating enough, overworking, and throwing up because of stress and pressure. Things did get better and I looked good skinny but I still didnt feel healthy, not enough sleep and no appropriate eating routine. So I changed that and now I feel healthy and back to my normal weight. Even so I am curious to see new methods and what not for casual workouts like stretches. I prefer more relaxed exercises which this channel as plenty of.

[@smhwolvi]

my reasoning for wanting to learn proper form is because im trying to lose weight and it would certainly help me. (i dont expect anyone to read this but for some reason my brain enjoys using comment sections as a journal) im still relatively young at 15 years old as of making this comment. im 5'10 and was just under 200 pounds with nothing but fat. i decided in my head that ill never let myself get as bad as 200+ pounds, but i never really did much to lose any weight. all i did was say a prayer in my mind every time i stepped on the scale just hoping that my weight wouldnt go up which was pathetic, really. and i got tired of doing that, tired of how my body looked. i wanted to stop saying that its just 'who i am' and to instead be something more. i went through one of those stereotypical teen breakups and i decided to improve myself to distract myself and keep me happy (weight loss being one of the improvements.) i figured that going to the gym or buying fancy equipment wasnt worth it especially because im both insecure of my body in public AND i struggled with discipline so i didnt wanna buy a membership or equipment.. i wanted to aim for more calisthenic related things instead. when i started i could hardly do a single pushup, and even when i did im sure the form was awful. all i used to do were about 10 effortless pushups against my bedframe just to test the waters. i hardly pushed myself at all. over time i practiced and got better and better as it became a more serious thing for me. i decided to do pushups and planks for a few months to build up my strength and endurance for anything else that is to come. after about a month im able to 15 pushups back to back before stopping. i still have a long way to go but its truly amazing how i went from not being able to handle one pushup, to finding myself easily executing 10 before a single feeling of fatigue or weakness comes by. my little routine is 15 pushups, 45 second plank, 15 more pushups, 15 knee pushups. i do this in the morning, after dinner, and then about 1-2 hours before i get prepared for bed. im no fitness expert so im not sure if this is ideal or if its wrong in some way but for me it works and im definitely improving so thats all that currently matters to me. i have a long road ahead of me 💯
